Delicious Turkey Bánh mì Recipe - Authentic Vietnamese Flavor

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb ground turkey (can substitute with chicken or pork)
  • 1 cup carrot (shredded)
  • 1 cup daikon radish (shredded)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for pickling vegetables)
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 4 buns French baguette (or Vietnamese bánh mì bread)
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional for spread)
  • 1 cup cucumber (sliced)
  • 1 cup cilantro (fresh, for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for flavoring turkey)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (for added spice)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Pickled Vegetables

    In a bowl, mix shredded carrots and daikon radish with sugar and rice vinegar. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

    The longer they sit, the better the flavor.
  2. Cook the Turkey

    In a skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat. Add soy sauce and cook until fully browned.

    Ensure the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Toast the Baguettes

    Slice the baguettes in half and toast them in the oven until crispy.

    A crispy baguette enhances the overall texture.
  4. Assemble the Bánh mì

    Spread mayonnaise on the inside of the toasted baguette, then add cooked turkey, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, and cilantro.

    Layer ingredients evenly for the best flavor in every bite.
  5. Serve and Enjoy

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with sriracha on the side if desired.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
